La La Land or Moonlight? Manchester by the Sea or Deadpool? Here are our picks for the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards.

The 74th annual Golden Globe Awards will be held in Los Angeles on Monday morning. Often described as the eccentric precursor to the Oscars, the Globes are known for their colourful party atmosphere, and irreverent tone.

This year, like most years, the Globes recognised the ‘best’ in 2016 cinema, with a few out-of-the-box nominations. Deadpool, the Ryan Reynolds superhero film that made a killing at the box office, was the biggest surprise.

So in anticipation of the awards, we picked our favourites in all the major categories. Check them out!
